TOKEN HOLDER AGREEMENT

TOKEN HOLDER AGREEMENT

PREAMBLE

This Token Holder Agreement (the “Agreement”) is concluded between ICO Headstart Foundation, a foundation under the laws of the Netherlands, having its seat in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, (the “Foundation”), or any legal successor of Foundation, and any legal or natural person that fulfils the criteria in this Agreement and accepts its terms (the “Token Holder”).

Parties to the Agreement are referred to as a “Party” and ,collectively, as “Parties”.

The Foundation’s address on Ethereum network is {Foundation-address}. Ethereum is a distributed ledger on which self-enforcing agreement called smart contracts are deployed and provide global consensus for enforcement of agreements. The Token Holder is identified by the following address {token-holder-address} on the Ethereum network.

The Foundation develops and operates the MOAT Platform used by Token Holders for selecting eligible projects for token generation events, all as described in the White Paper as amended from time to time and published on the website operated by or on behalf of the Foundation. The tokens exchanged for Ether allowing the use as per the White paper are referred to as “MOAT Tokens”.

This Agreement sets forth principles, terms and conditions of use by the Token Holder of Moat Tokens, as set out in a smart contract under address {ICO Headstart sc-address} (the “Moat Token Smart Contract”). It’s source code is available in repository {repo-url} with commit {commit-id} (the “Repository”).

Content of the Agreement and of all its amendments from time to time including amended White Paper, all as reduced to the Moat Token Smart Contract, is stored in public immutable storage where it can be retrieved by cryptographic hash of a file. Foundation will sign Agreement and any of its amendment by executing a transaction on the Moat Token Smart Contract that will add Agreement hash to contract state thus providing proof of Foundation signature and of Agreement content. Token Holder may access current Agreement and all amendments by inspecting Moat Token Smart Contract state on the Ethereum network.

The terms outlined in the Agreement correspond to the self-enforcing computer code of the MOAT Token Smart Contract.

This document does not constitute a prospectus or offering or securities of any sort and is not a solicitation for investment.

This Agreement may be amended in accordance with section 5 below.
